Report: Newcastle United made late move to pip Leeds United to Jean-Kevin Augustin

The Frenchman arrived at Elland Road yesterday to put pen to paper on a loan deal (with an option to buy) till the end of the season, and Newcastle and others will have to look elsewhere.

Crystal Palace and Brighton were also interested, but they were all too reactive.
